Common Questions and Answers about Diflucan while pregnant

diflucan

Avatar f tn Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. Diflucan can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
525485 tn?1314361301 Yea, unfortunately you are not supposed to take Diflucan while pregnant, so, I guess I will have to see what the doc has to say. The creams dont normally work for me either, and in previous occurences, I normally have to take 2 diflucan's so many hours apart in order to get rid of my infection!
Avatar f tn I am almost on my last week of pregnancy and I may have a yeast infection, would taking monistat 7 now be unsafe since I'm so close to delivery? Or can my doctor prescribe me with some kind of medication?
14346590 tn?1451854557 Has anyone taken diflucan for a yeast infection while pregnant. My doctor gave it to me yesterday and I read that it has Not been proven safe for pregnant or nursing women. And no smart comments about "your doc wont give you anything unsafe to take while prego" because I started bleeding a WHOLE bunch last night/this morning around 1am and I had to go to the hospital. That's why I'm asking.
Avatar n tn I've taken 2 Diflucan tablets one one friday and one on Saturday. Monday i started bleeding my period is not due for another week.
290018 tn?1240365868 So, make sure that you do not take that. Monistat is okay to use while being pregnant!
1472764 tn?1287588186 I'm 16 weeks and I'm suffering from a horrible yeast infection. I took 7 days of terazol and 3 days of monistat. Neither helped. Creams usually don't on me. Diflucan is the only thing that works but my dr. said he doesn't prescribe it during pregnancy. I'm so sick of it. I'm miserable. Has anyone ever taken diflucan when they were pregnant? What are the side effects to the baby?
Avatar f tn ya, it happens to a lot of women. Call your doctor. You can have diflucan while pregnant. How's the cramping? Any better?
Avatar f tn I have a yeast infection I am almost 6weeks pregnant and I took diflucan for the infection will this harm my baby
Avatar n tn I had unprotected sex about 5 weeks ago and a couple of days later it burned while I urinated. I am a male. I took an std test for chlamydia and gonnorea and they both came back negative but the doctor gave diflucan thinking it might be a yeast infection. It worked for about a week and then the burning came back. The doctor then gave me doxycycline( 10 days 2 pills easch day) and said that this should work. It works a little but he said it might take a week and its been six days.
Avatar n tn I get yeast & bacterial infections very easily while pregnant, especially after having to take any antibiotic. I'm 38 weeks & I've had 3 during this pregnancy. My Doctors just told me to take Monistat 3 or 5 over the counter instead of Diflucan. Just because it works faster. I didn't have any issues from it as far as I know. I've had a very difficult pregnancy too (like bleeding throughout, early contractions, etc.) & they still said it was safe for me.
Avatar m tn I think I will hold off on the YC while I'm on the diflucan. I can't believe I'm dealing with this at this time. I wish for the days when my health was good. It's real work now to just make it thru each day. I suppose I'm feeling a little sorry for myself. Sorry.
Avatar f tn d for thinking i had an infection, she told me to get some) and use it on days when I am itchy. She gave me a prescription for one tablet of Diflucan, when I was picking up my prescription, the pharmacy techs said its not recommended during pregnancy, mainly first trimester, but they gave me the pill and I haven't taken it yet. I was wanting to know your thoughts or if any of you have used this ?? Sorry it's so long!

I have a yeast infection now and was wondering if its safe to use AZO Yeast while pregnant? Also what's the BEST otc yeast infection rememdey I can use tonight and be done???? Please help!!
Avatar m tn I've had a persistent yeast infection almost every month for nearly 3 years. I've had it tested over 5 times so I know it's candida with certainty. Diflucan sometimes helps for a short while, most of the time not at all. I'm trying it once more and thought maybe trying the miconazole suppositories a few days after the Diflucan may help. What's your opinion on this idea? Does anyone have any advice on recurrent yeast infections?
Avatar f tn They didnt want me to talk diflucan that early. I am the same way as u. Nothing works but diflucan for me. so i know how u feel.
Avatar f tn Dont take diflucan whilst pregnant doctor said its not good for baby but i got canneston cream instead seems to be working so far
674021 tn?1295489762 My daughter had thrush when she was a newborn as well, and dr. also prescribed Nystatin. It worked, but took a while. I also had to apply some topically to my bbs, because I was breastfeeding. You can keep passing it back and forth!
Avatar m tn ve had chronic yeast infections (4-6 a year) for about 3 years now. 2 years ago my doctor prescribed Diflucan and it worked well for a while (cleared up the infection right away). About 8 months ago the Diflucan stopped being as effective, and I would have to take one 150mg pill then followed by another 150mg pill 3 days later. For the past 6 months I've had a yeast infection that has not really gone away. I have relief for a couple days to a week max and then the symptoms returned.
Avatar f tn I am 19 weeks pregnant I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis I was given a treatment by my Dr. It was a 7 day treatment "metronidazole 500mg" a day after I finished the treatment I noticed a burning sensation after pedigree and irritation when I whiped ***I have no discharge*** its been about 3 days and I would like to know what's the cause of this .. again symptoms are burning, irritation and a little swollen sore vagina. PLEASE HELP its really uncomfortable :( thank you.
Avatar f tn So, I took antibiotics for a UTI that was beginning. I haven't had sex or anything and started feeling itching, cottage cheese discharge was seen and it was burning down there. So I went and got Diflucan (actually the generic) prescribed from Urgent Care. It's been a day since I took the medication and just today I was wiping and saw light pink on my toilet paper. Can having a yeast infection cause bleeding? Can your lady parts be so inflamed that there's chafing and such?
Avatar n tn Did a urine test for STDs (chlamydia, gonnehrea) all negative. He prescribed Diflucan and gave me 2 pills. I took the first one and the symptoms got a lot better. Then (my thought is it wasn't fully healed) after sex it returned. So I took another Diflucan, everything seemed cool. Then I got a really bad cold and was prescribed a Z pack. Surprise! Yeast was back. So I went to the doctor and this time they did a "wet mount" turns out I had BV and Yeast together.
Avatar f tn I used monostat one day and it did work but takes about 2 days. Why won't your doctor prescribe diflucan? It's a tablet you take and works well. It's not an antibiotic as antibiotics actually cause yeast infections but an antifungal (which yeast is a fungal issue). I'd ask for diflucan if your doctor is open to you being able to do that.
Avatar n tn So I've had a yeast infection since I found out I was pregnant. My doctor finally gave me a prescription to get diflucan. But my insurance want pay for it because they he said it is a risk for the baby. Has this happened to anyone else? Or have you taken diflucan and everything turned out fine? Not to mention she only prescribe me 2 pills one every 24 hours and that's it.
20797525 tn?1510602613 I have had candida for a little over a year now. It all started with strep throat that I required penicillin to combat. Penicillin helped but never fully eliminated the problem. I began to notice a lot of itching underneath my left arm. A few times I would put deodorant on and it would sting to high heaven. Then I noticed that classic yeast smell. I tried all types of treatments with no result, relief or answers.
1386448 tn?1280896286 I was treated with Diflucan for my very first yeast infection ever, I took the pill last Thursday. I actually didn't even know i had one until a seen the doc for painful intercourse ( i had no smell, discharge..etc). Should I make a follow up appointment? I just feel wet all the time, its worse in the morning when I first wake up. Could this be yeast die off or normal symptoms of the drug? I just dont know because I've never had one before.
